The Cornell Math Department will not be offering the REU or SPUR Programs for Summer 2025. We anticipate hosting the programs in Summer 2026 depending on funding and faculty mentorship availability. An update on the 2026 programs will be posted in early December 2025.
The REU and SPUR summer programs provide the opportunity for undergraduate students of mathematics to participate in leading-edge research. Projects are designated "REU" and others are designated "SPUR". The difference between REU and SPUR projects is the funding support that is available (See the Program Information link below).
REU PROGRAM - Research Experience for Undergraduates
SPUR PROGRAM - Summer Program for Undergraduate Research
